Description

The life of an icon, in her own words.

Joni Mitchell had a unique relationship with the BBC, making appearances on 'the beeb' throughout her career. An anonymous talent, a blossoming starlet, a white-hot star and a bona fide legend: the BBC had the inside scoop on it all.

In this fascinating collection of BBC television and radio transcripts, Joni's life story is told in her own words, across more than a dozen appearances spanning over forty years. Each provides an illuminating snapshot of moments in a remarkable career. But read together, they offer a completely new take on Joni herself, a first-person look at the rise and rise of a star.

Compiled and guided by BBC journalist Tom Hagler, River of Words: Joni Mitchell at the BBC is the complete story of an incredible life lived on the airwaves.
